Why do an update if you prefer your packages to be pinned?

Depending on what your base image is, the pinned versions you want to install may not be available.
I hadn't even thought of pinning packages before I read the article; I'm kind of a sucker for apt-get update. I've been thinking a lot about Docker lately, and something in the back of my mind was like, "but what if you don't want the latest version of everything?"
